Alright, I guess we will get started. This is more or less an informal introduction meeting. I had hoped we'd have more players on, but it this appears to be it.

So I'd like to briefly introduce myself as the player. I've been gaming for about seventeen years on text base gaming systems (MOO, MUSH, MUD, MUX) as well as table top RPG (WoD, D&D). I am hoping that my experience will help bring some new playstyles to the table for FBC and help run certain events smoothly.

As far as Resident Evil goes, I have been here for just over a month; so I am humbled and honored to work alongside everyone here as he progress further on as the Faction Head.

so, going to our first topic of the night: my position within FBC IC and OOC.

I am sure some of you are probably wondering exactly what I will be doing here as the Faction Head.

My position will be mainly from a OOC standpoint - I will be here as a person to coordinate events, run events and help new players coming in. I will not be running the show IC. That spot is still reserved to Wesker and Richard Stadler. As far as IC goes, Esa is just another player with Raptor team.

"Correct, also remember that Re:R uses the backstory and information from Games and Movies; however all actions are done by the players themselves. So, things change. Events in the Games transpire differently. Certain characters who shouldn't die, die and those that should've died live."

"Okay, so as it seems we are moving towards questions on scenes, PRE's and story arcs I will close out the introductory questions."

"First on Story arcs: The short answer is yes, eventually. Currently I am attempting to draft a story arc, but nothing concrete has been put into place. Some may have noticed things being progressed within the journals that will eventually (hopefully) lead into this larger arc."

"For Scenes and PRE's: My overall goal is to run scenes weekly (maybe multiple) and PRE's bi-weekly. PRE's will either be from the +playerevents and focused solely on FBC, or something I will draft up and running as a PRE. As for individual scenes, I do not think there isn't anything you cannot do. If you have questions, or are unsure hit me up and we can talk about it."

"I would say this as an add on to what Kitten said: Within reason. As we know, Paris is winding down. Attacks have all but stopped and FBC has taken care of the QZ and most of the catacombs are safe again. There are a few lingering PRE's to run. I would say a licker attack, for example, on a hospital might be a stretch." :)

Kitten says, "If you really absolutely need promotions, the rank perks exist. Otherwise it's mostly based on exceptional stuff IC since in an IC timeframe you won't see much promotions going on since it would take years realistically."

"Kind of curbing it back to the questions about PRE's and scenes; I want to encourage players to try to pick up a PRE and run it. Doesn't have to be for just FBC but can be for everyone. If need help, got questions hit me up in @mail, channel or pages. I'm always willing to assist where and when I can."

"For now, though we will be seeing a wind down as we continue forward. Within this wind down, I will try to be keeping our activity going by providing one on one scenes and a few PRE's. We have a new storyline coming up (RE:4) that will move us to another location. Between now and then, we will focus on closing up loose threads in Paris; some of these have already been started or done (For example the scene with Trixie and Molly). Others are still out there and are being worked on behind the scenes to connect them together."

"Any other questions before I move forward with what's coming up in the next few weeks?"

"The first is already ongoing - Emma's accident. She has ironed out a few more details which will be wrapped into an active PRE event. Those details have been handed to me and we'll run them this week. These scenes will be investigative scenes and non-combat related. Beyond Emma's PRE, I am looking at running a PRE hopefully next week. Lastly, Black Sword scene has been put on hold and may be ran as a journal entry.. maybe a cutscene small RP. I will get with Bob regarding this. Additionally, do not forget about Kittens Sins of the Father"

"PRE's are typically run by the owner or person that claims them. I'm always willing to assist and walk you through things, but my suggestion is waiting until you as the player feel comfortable in running a scene."

"I'm quite often found on this game throughout the day. I'm usually on RE from about 7a to 3:20p and 5p to about 10p Central Standard Time. During the 7-3:20 I'm at work and prone to idleness; but will and have run scenes for people. Weekends are bit different. I may not be around, or if I am, it is in the evening time."

"One of the things I'd like to get from everyone is your hours of availability so that I can schedule things around all the players and not just a select few. This includes random scenes or PRE events. I ask those to be @mail'd to me, and I will be posting it to the FBC board."

Bryant says, "My hours vary heavily. I'm getting a checkup soon to check for some sort of sleeping disorder as my sleeping schedule fluctuates heavily with no warning. I've also become unemployed as this problem has progressed so if I'm awake I'm likley on, if I'm idle I might be playing something else in another tab."

"Alright if that is it, then I'm closing the meeting. A FBC post will go up regarding highlights within this meeting and I will submit the scene later onto the wiki. Thank-you all for attending. Have a wonderful night!"
